[LON-CAPA-dev] sudo

[Scott Harrison]

Dear All:

sudo is now a mandatory part of a LON-CAPA installation

You can add it to your system by:
cd loncom/build/
make rpmstatuspost
http://MACHINENAME/lon-status/rpmstatus.html

You will find a link on that page
to download and install sudo.
http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/latestRPMS/sudo-1.6.5p2_rh6.2-1.i386.rpm

rpm -Uvh sudo-1.6.5p2_rh6.2-1.i386.rpm 

RedHat 7.* systems normally come with sudo.

You can choose between
http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/latestRPMS/sudo-1.6.5p2_rh7.1-1.i386.rpm
or
ftp://mirror.pa.msu.edu/linux/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/i386/sudo-1.6.4-0.7x.2.i386.rpm

If you are running RedHat 7.*, you will likely want to
update glibc, glibc-common, glibc-devel as well
See
ftp://mirror.pa.msu.edu/linux/redhat/linux/updates/7.1/en/os/i386/

I rolled the 6.2 rpm myself so as to avoid a security hole
from the older RedHat "powertools" version.

Regards,
Scott
